So American soldiers are in an EU and NATO country. Whats your problem with that? If they would be on the other side, that would be a problem. Like Russian soldiers suddenly being on the Krim or in Donezk. And don't even start with "was Russian for hundreds of years". Then give Königsberg back to Germany before you even start about bringing this up.

How to grow rugby worldwide?Look at the world ranking in July. Teams ranked 1-10 have to play one team from 11-20 (they don't play in a regular competition) away the next year. 11-20 play 21-30 away and so on. Yes, it really is that simple.

You know that for example in Latvia you can be finad for what you say in Russian insted of Latvian?

This apartheid in your fuсking EU!

You know that in Ukraine you can go to jail for "anti-Ukrainian position?"

You know that the Ukrainian volunteer battalions fighting with nazi symbols?

Do you think that we will alow to deal with us as with the serbs?

Do you think that Russian fate will be decided in Brussels and Washington?

You are much mistaken ...

Bring back 20 million people killed incuding my grandfather and Russian will return you Keniksberg.

Vova relax, this was actually written light-hearted. My grandpa also died to in WW2 and my mother's family lost their homes (not Königsberg though). Last time I checked the Ukraine was not part of the EU and your picture was not made in Latvia.If you check apart from the nationalist propaganda Russia and the EU (especially Germany) are actually big trade partners. Nobody underestimates Russia. If I was you, I would worry more about a more equal distribution of wealth in Russia than about any border movements.

Thing is, who is telling the truth here? And how can any of us ordinary citizens know who to believe? It's no wonder people just tend to go along with their official national mouthpieces when it has become impossible to sift genuine properly researched and substantiated news from propaganda ( and both sides apply ).

As for making no sense, if you are looking for things in this world to make sense post the election victory of Trump then you are living in the wrong universe methinks.

Somehow I swear we shifted to an alternate reality last year and somewhere out there is a parallel universe where rationality still reigns.

Rogue elements? Unlikely. Either ISIS or the "moderate" rebels most likely did this IMO, because they are losing badly and their only chance to turn things around is to get foreign nations to get involved against Assad.

The election of Trump seems perfectly rational to me, just like a Le Pen victory would be rational as well, which is something I actually really hope it will happen.
